Don't they?

They value their own comfort

Thats about where a peraons relevancy stops at

I agree with you people only argue and whats important to them, like 2 nerds arguing star wars vs star trek

Idk, you two seem to think people have changed a great deal. I'm not seeing it.

But if neither cared, its easy to change their mind

Or fill with misinformation

not knowing the policies behind the abortion debate because you spend all day in echo chambers of equally uninformed opinions, spouting the echo chamber byline and not having so much a stance as a tribalistic confimation biased emotional response is the type of change it is about. Before all of this everyone involved needed to research and learn about it, now social media eliminates any and all research and instead forces us into echochamber circle jerks of equally uninformed people @Paradox

So, you think me knowing timmy, tommy, and johnny's opinions on the matter aren't knowledge?

Id say stick to your value. Yea its the echo chamber, but there is also a problem when you dont hold values

Coherence is important

Thats why opinions matter, they make patterns even in non democracies

so i guess the context of the information we're talking about is politics then

not information that is directly applicable to peoples individual lives

Well everything can be politics though

I dont mean to complicate things

Like i get your trying to narrow it down

yeah but i don't think one single person can know every policy in a country that in some way affects their life, not even experts

so we specialize on what we're interested in, or we just have opinions without knowing many facts

a single expert now is drowned out by a thousand much louder pundits who don't know shit about what they are talking about though

it comes down to how people choose to spend their rare time

We form opinions based on the knowledge we do have, not the knowledge that is available to be had.

yeah but i'm not sure that's a new thing
i can imagine peasants complaining about the stuff the king does without having any idea what its like for the king

people have opinions based on perceived self interest and use their judgements based on limited information

and just because we have access to all the info suddently doesnt mean that its cost free to learn it
you pay with time
opportunity cost

hellp

hello

Yep. Which is why having values
